-saute some onion/ garlic in olive oil.

-on the side make some stock with Better Than Bouillon- Vegetable Base*
-add stock to sauteed onions/ garlic/ celery/ and chicken
-add chopped carrots
-add quartered baby potatoes, yams, turnips, squash etc
-add chopped ginger and 1 cup of red lentils
-bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 15- 20 minutes
